Other Information

This is a modern take on the classic old fashioned, using the same method to prepare the drink and using the smoky spicy characters of an Islay whisky. The spicy notes in the Benedictine and cordial combine with smoky spice of Talisker, the amount of sugar used in this drink can be adjusted to taste.
